Organization of Recipient:

U.S. Senate

Description:

The standards for BIFs are essentially equivalent to the proposed amendments for incinerators. The BIF regulations include performance standards for destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of organics, hydrogen chloride, particulates, products of incomplete combustion (PIC), metals, and free chlorine. Existing BIFs must meet substantive standards to keep interim status pending permit. BIFs are subject to full permitting. Residues in general are subject to full regulations, some residues are exempt under RCRA Section 3001(b)(3)(A) (SEE ALSO Section 266.112).
